Here's the weekly collection of submitted art (and other) featuring cephalopods.
This is the work of Evan Harris, with his strangely dissipated-looking sailor playing a cephalochord.
Lego's Aqua Raiders set features a giant squid with too few arms: it looks more like a spider to me.
Look! Pearl Jam played in Australia!
This is part of a whole collection of octopus jewelry. Anybody who wants to buy me the complete set for Cephalopodmas, contact me and I'll send a shipping address.
The one piece is $1350. Cheap!

I approve this plan. A number of researchers have gotten together and worked out a grand strategy for sequencing the genomes of a collection of cephalopods. This involves surveying the phylogeny of cephalopods and trying to pick species to sample that adequately cover the diversity of the group,…
Here's the first volley of cephalopod recognition posts I've received. Do send me more, and I'll put them up later. Do me a favor and put "Cephalopod Awareness" in your subject line so I can sort them out more easily.

Don't stare! He has a condition! *snicker*
Thanks, Icequeen-- I think my wife would really like those sea turtles.
But did the nice Swiss lady have to call me a Schmuck right at the top of the page?
*laugh* Schmuck is a great German word. I remember wandering around in Frankfurt and seeing a store seemingly very proud of its Schmuck.

That octopus is totally going on my Christmas list.
